I've seen this bag demonstrated maybe on an old Knitty Gritty? You've got wonderful colors going and it looks like lots of fun plus great recycling.
The view from your porch is so distracting I wonder how you can knit at all. Yes, fun to see this finished bag.

Yes, I've seen this before. A lady in a waiting room (my husband and hers were having day surgery) was knitting a big floor bowl using plastic bags that she cut into strips then tied them together end-to-end-to-end...rolled up a huge ball...and off she goes! The resulting bowl was quite sturdy. She had one already done at home, and it sits on the floor and holds magazines. It was a wider, shallower bowl.

I am at the putting-it-together stage and a bit sad at how the back turned out bigger than the front. I'm crocheting around the edges to make it look more....well, sturdy. It's kind of holey, with many ends hanging out everywhere (part of its style, I guess, lol).
Here it is, ready for putting together.

Will post a pic when done. Supposed to be cleaning house today, but the bag is sitting there on the floor, next to my favorite knitting chair, looking sad and lonely......

I would love your view in every season! Do you get a lot of requests for visitors?!

I've seen patterns for those bags. They are very cool! I've thought about knitting a bag to keep bags in...a bag for bags!

My kind of thinking. Unfortunately I do have bags of bags. I use the plastic shopping bags for my kitchen trash, corralling things I mean to give to someone, donating things to thrift stores, and storing plastic bags for future use. I'm a hopeless bag lady I think.

I've started balls of plarn and tried crocheting it but wasn't happy with the result. I've yet to try knitting with it. Woodi, your cool bag may just be what I need to get me to unbag some bags and put them to use. Thanks! Which method for cutting and attaching the strips together did you use?
